Every now and then

I let my inner punk show

In a subtle way.

His eyes glint mischief

Next to his heart shaped freckle

With lashed for miles

I love to catch him

Seizing a boyhood moment

Embracing his youth

His smile melts my heart

Imagination runs wild

My little Monkey

Living day to day

Taking freedom for granted

Never a second thought.

While they are heroes

Often they are forgotten

Today I am thankful.

Wishing for the days

When the sun’s rays warmed my face

And freckled my nose

Basking in the heat

Digging my toes in the sand

Pure tranquility

Oh the joys of ink

They say you can’t  get just one

Surely I agree

Have had one in mind

I’ve been wanting for a while

Ready to commit.

The air turns chilly

As the days become shorter

Warm days are numbered.

Glimpses of color

Start to decorate the trees

Autumn is coming.

 So many days pass

In the daily rush of life

Things get forgotten.

Always in motion

Too many plates in the air

No time for it all.

Then I catch a glimpse

Of my boys turning to men

And I am grounded

Reminded to stop

And enjoy them while I can

Before they sprout wings.
